PCA Autocross Race Videos. 12/13/2015.
My Corvette was no match for the 2007 GT3 or the 2006 911 Carrera S. So if you can't beat them, join them. Let's face it, they rather see me driving a Porsche then a Corvette anyway. My friend offered up his Carrera S to me. This is no ordinary car. With a few hundred pounds removed, suspension and some motor work, this car rips. 2 seconds faster then my Corvette. Ouch! Although I did take the first slalom different in the two cars, I don't think that's the time difference. We both had 50 lap old Hoosiers. 2nd. overall out of 95 cars.
My car in practice. 58.6
Porsche in race. 56.6

Watching videos from the comfort of my armchair makes the driving seem like it was no big deal and I always think "I could have gone much faster" and then I get to the next event and do the same thing.
I have to live through your videos right now while I prepare for my next season.
ThankS!

Can you describe the differences you felt between the two cars? Provide us with a perspective on the way the Porsch drove as compared to what you are used to.

Sitting in the Armchair. I would agree that it looks slow and easy to do. Nothing we can do about that. The videos will never capture what's actually going on. Keep in mind, my rev-limiter is at 70 mph. It looks like 35mph. and that's why it looks so easy.
Hope you can get driving soon.

It's last race.

Thanks Steve for the comparo on the two cars, Something to be said for having all the comfort and mostly stock car stay that close to a race car.
Video can't capture all the seat of the pants sensations that provide so much feedback for our decision making. I wish I knew a way to translate the distance from a video into my driving.
It'll be awhile now before I drive again, I started taking the engine apart last weekend for some maintenance and oiling issues and while it's apart, I might was well make the other changes to it I've been wanting in hopes of going faster next season.
Thanks for posting all your videos!
